Solution and Explanation
In ‘The Last Lesson,’ Franz regrets wasting his time and neglecting his language studies when he realizes that French lessons will no longer be taught. This realization helps him understand the value of education and his cultural identity.
In ‘The Rattrap,’ the peddler realizes the consequences of his dishonest lifestyle after experiencing kindness from Edla. This leads to his transformation as he adopts a path of honesty.
Both narratives reflect the universal truth that humans learn and grow through their mistakes.
